Answer:

"Principal" Since the value of common stock could decline to zero, investors do carry the risk of losing their entire principal. That risk is greatly reduced when investing in bonds, because if you hold a bond to its maturity date, you will at least get back the par value ($1000) of the bond.

Hope this helps :) -Mark Brainiest Please :)

Tasya [4]

Answer:

April 1

Debit : Patent $1,500,000

Credit : Cash $1,500,000

December 31

Debit : Amortization $125,000

Credit : Accumulated Amortization $125,000

December 31

Debit : Impairment loss $6,000,000

Credit : Accumulated Impairment loss $6,000,000

Explanation:

Both the Amortization and Impairment loss reduce the value of assets. They are therefore expenses accounted in Income Statement.

Amortization : is the loss of value of an asset due to passage of time.

Amortization Expense = (Cost - Residual Amount) ÷ Useful Life

= ( $1,500,000 - $ 0) ÷ 12

= $125,000

Impairment loss : is the excess of the Carrying Amount of an Asset over its Recoverable Amount( Higher of Value in Use and Fair Value less Cost to Sell)

If a firm sells a prestige product, what kind of relationship between price and quantity demanded should it expect?.

solmaris [256]

For a firm that sells a prestige product, the relationship between price and quantity demanded is a <u>positive direct relationship</u>.

<h3>Why is the relationship between demand and price of prestige products direct?</h3>

The relationship between the demand and price of prestige products is direct because prestige products tend to sell better at high prices than at low prices.

And when the quantity demanded increases, the price tends to increase.

An example of a prestige product is an old car.

Thus, for a firm that sells a prestige product, the relationship between price and quantity demanded is a <u>positive direct relationship</u>.

aliina [53]

Answer:

a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.

Explanation:

The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.

When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.

The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.

Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.

KatRina [158]

Answer: $12

Explanation:

In selling the obsolete goods, the company will incur Variable Marketing costs and the alternative will be to throw the goods away.

The relevant costs they will incur are therefore the Variable Marketing costs alone.

The lowest amount that a company should accept for a good is the price that equals it's cost so that they may at least Break-Even.

Seeing as the Variable Marketing Costs are the only relevant cost then the lowest they should accept is the Variable Marketing Costs of $12.
